However, academic scholarships will be awarded based on grade point average and the date when the scholarship application is submitted. Since there are more students applying for scholarships than there are available funds, the earlier you apply the more competitive you will be in receiving a scholarship. Scholarship application opens September 1st for subsequent award year. (example: 9-1-2014 opens for 2015-2016 academic award year.)
